PLANKTON AS WAR -TIME
-- FOOD
The food source on 'whieh all
sea -life depends is plaaikton, tiny
plants and animals- which Float In
countless numbers in the ocean
waters and are more plentiful in
polar than in tropical waters.
Plankton is the. main food of
whales. which obtain sufficient
quantities by straining sea . water
through their teeth. The smallest
of fish also- eat Plankton.
A proposal to harvest plankton
and use it as food for persons
and livestock as a war -time meas-
ure has been advanced by Pro-
dessor A,, C. Hardy, le, R. S., of
University College, Hull, : England.
Plankton, he points out, consists of
59 per cent protein, 7 per cent
tat, 20 per oent carbohydrates, 5
per cent of a shell-like material,
and a small quantity of ash. The
animal type contains 15 to 20 per
cent of oil. He says, the animal
type has a nutritive value equal
to the best meat, and the plant
type equal to rye flour.
It would be possible, says Pro -
(tosser Hardy, to harvest the plank-
ton economically in the lochs on
the coasts of Scotland.
STAINLESS STEEL
The discovery that stainless
steel can be made twice as easy
to machine (cut, bore and saw)
by the addition of a little of the
metallic 'element bisinuth has beets
announced by the Batelle Memor-
ial Institute of Columbus, 0. By.
this new process it is estimated
that machining costs hi defense
manufacture can be cut by .one
quarter.
Russian Railway
Double Tracked
One Russian life -line that has
been wrought up to date is the
Trans-Siberian Railway, the great
east -to -west artery. It has double
tracks in excellent condition the
whole way to VIadivostok, with
large sidings in many, places. It
can carry vast quantities of ma-
terials from the coal and indus-
trial areas in the Urals right up
to Moscow and beyond. The rail-
way from Baku and the Ukrain-
ian wheat belt is also first-rate.

Oo To England
'Italians From African Pris-
on Camps Sailed From Cart-
- to Work on -English
Farms
One thousand Italian prisoners
and seven officers sailed for Bri-
tain in the convoy which took the
Oanacliau 3rd Division across the
Atlantic.
They came originally from Afri-
can prison camps where they vol-
unteered to go to England to work
en farms. Their own medical of-
ficers accompanied them,
"Some are just youngsters out
of school," British Tommies who
guarded them said, "They say they
had only a month and a half of
training before being sent to Libya
to oppose our desert fighters."
"They're no trouble to guard. In
fact you'd have a job to persuade
some of thein to leave, They're -
better off now than they've been
for a long time, and as happy as
any exile San be."
While at sea the seven officers
were permitted the liberty- of the
ship, Ono 00 them, according to
the British officer commanding_
troops, declared he would neves'
go to war for Mussolini again un•
der any circumstances,

Jules Huot, Quebec City, and Stanley Horne, 'Montreal, are two
of eastern Canada's outstanding pros, but western opponents were
rough with them in east -west eichibitions for war
charities. The long
and plentifully -trapped Banff Springs Hotel course defied their best
efforts to bust par and Iluot went one over perfect figures, 72, while
Horne was 78. Jack Cuthbert, Calgary's veteran pro, was out in

to beat Horne and Wilder Il, Ripley, outstanding Calgary amateur,

YOU HEARD?
Mrs. Woop had died, and Dad r -
wanted to put' up some sort of
memorial to her.' A stained-glass
window in the localchurch being
suggested, Dad agreed, and left
all arrangements in the hands of
the 3isini5ter.
At length the window arrived,
and was .fitted- leto position. Dad,
in an unusually -excited frame of
mind, set 'tut to view it.
The nsinister escorted the old'
chap into the .church and, with 4
flourish,' • indicated the window,
which depicted an angel,
"How do you like it?" said he.
Dad gazed at it thoughtfn1i r.
"No good," he grunted,
"Why, what's your objection?"
"It ain't a bit like the old
woman."
Englishman: Do you know ,
that the U.S.A. is sending
thousands of tons of muni-
tions to Germany?
American: Thdt can't be.
Englishman: it's true —
but they're getting the

it friend from. the States to .the
edge of a volcano,
"That crater is 70,004 years
old," he explained.
"How do you get the exact
age?" asked the newcomer. "I
can understand the 70,000, but
how do you calculate the four?"
"Well, I've been here in the
islands for four ,years, and the
crater was 70,000 years old when

Change of .diet
For Japer Beaver
Game wardens are following
with much interest the work of
the various Beaver colonies in
Jasper National Park. In many
established localities these busy
animals have depleted their sup-
ply of natural food of poplar.
Strangely, the animals have turn-
ed to the spruce ,trees and are
making quite a cleterup. In the
Jaques Lake arca they have made
heavy inroads into the spruce
groves. Around the sho>;e of Luc
13eauvert, in front of Jasper Park
Lodge, the four -footed woodsmen
have felled even souse of the
larger trees. Strange food for
those who have so long lived oe
the poplar.

Another Appeal
By Post Office
Use of Ink Rather Than
Pencil 'Advocated For Over-
seas Mail
A bulletin urging everyone ad-
dressing nail to troops overseas
to' write the address ,always in
ink has been issued by the Post
Office-departinesit. 'It frequently
has been found that pencil written
addresses become smudged and n -
readable during the course of
transmission making it very diffi-
cult for the Canadian Postal Corps
to effect delively., When ink is
'used there is less danger os the
address fading- or becoming ob-
literated, it is pointed opt.
The bulletin also points out that
letters, parcels and newspapers
for troops .overseas 'should be ad-
dressed as follows: Regimental
number, rank and name; name and
detail of unit (i.e. company, sec-
tion, squadron, 'battery, holding
unit, etc.) ; name of -regiment or
branch of service; Canadian Arany
Overseas. •
To a soldier still in Canada,
mail should be addressed as above
except the last line where the
name of the Place in Canada
where the unit is stationed should
be placed.

usiness As Usual
German firms in. S,hanghat,

LUNCH HOUR IN HURRICANE PLANT
• "Kitty Hawker," the plant mascot, comes in for her share of the

they were contrived at all.
Religious Habits
()Id. and Modern
In an address broadcast Prem
SO. Marllnin-the•Frelds in Lon-
don, England, the Rev. l;ric Love -
day suggested that many of our
habits In religious thinking and
worship are summed up in the
words of an old Scotsman who
said: "When I was a young man
we gathered on the hillsides in all
weathers, and standing there bare-
headed sang "Praise God from
wlious all blessings flow,' Now I

church in spy city, where the
pews are so comfortable that you
could sleep in then, and we sing
'Art thou weary, art thou languid,
art thou sore distressed?'"
New Industry
Fr elgi tm.
Antwerp Factory, With Key
Men, Brought to Englend
Before Nazi Invasion of Bel -
glum
Another new and valuable in-
dustry has come to England with
the Belgians. Antwerp used to
send across the Channel instru-
ments, prepared by a patent pro-
cess from crushed diatnonds, for
snaking tungsten carbide tool Lips,
optical glass and porcelain arti-
cles, and these were important in
the war effort, too. A new de-
velopment is the making of den-
tal instruments almost entirely
controlled by Germany dp to tlse
war.
Just before the Nazis overran
the Low Countries the Antwerp
factory was brought to England
with its key men. These diamond
craftsmen of Belgium have settled
down in complete friendliness
with their English felIow workers,
and the output of their new fac-
tory has had to be multiplied many
times. Mucls of the work, such as
diamond sorting, crushing, grad-
ing and perfection can be dose by
men partly incapacitated by wax
injuries,
Preparations are now being
made to develop the new factory'a
products for the United States,
the Dominions, Crown colonies
and several neutral countries.
